Mental Merits & Flaws

Description: The dragon must gather treasure, the lynx must conceal his urine, the unicorn must submit to a virgin and the eel must return to the ocean to spawn. You have such a Compulsion yourself. In game terms, you must roll your Willpower to resist giving way if an opportunity arises to follow this Compulsion (difficulty 6 + the point value of the Flaw). Your Storyteller may also wish to adjust the point value of this Flaw depending on how difficult, inconvenient or common your Compulsion is. Examples include:

Flaw Compulsion
2 points Gather treasure, spare helpless enemies, return to your birthplace to die.
3 points Wash all your food, devour your enemies' corpses, go to sleep at cockcrow.
4 points Await permission before entering a room, chase any thrown stick, count anything you see.
